A. 7. STEWARDS APPOINTMENT.

Lest His Chance of Becoming States
man-Left Out in the Cold.
Nobody dreamed then that Mr.. Stewart
would be appointed secretary of the treasury,
but before the 4th of March the place was of
fered to him. As the world knows be was
appointed and confirmed, and then it was dis
covered that he was ineligible, A forgotten
law prohibited any one interested in imports
from holding the Office of secretary of the
treasury Stewart had been immensely gra-
titled at the offer, and WAS anxious to hold the
post He proposed TO turn over his great bus
inesS TO trustees for the space of four years,
the entire profits to be devoted TO some public
OF charitable purpose in which he should not
be interested.
Bat tie device was insufficient to obvate
the difficulty end another secretary was ap-
pointed IN his stead. Thus Stewart lost his
chance of becoming q statesman. The presi-
dent could find another secretary of the treas
ury, but Stewart had no other president to
turn To- lie became plain dry goods man
again, without place, or power, or public
career TO be so near a great position, and
yet 10 lose ii; TO he appointed and confirmed,
and even congratulated; 10 have made his
arrangements, and, doubtless, determined on
his appointments In advance, and yet to be
dashed down 10 private life, was hard. But
besides this Stewart thought that some of
the Importance or influence which had been
offered mm should have been allowed TO re
main. He even wanted to retain . little of
Che patronage which might have been his

tain's wife. On the 22d of September a

Cholera in New York.

New York, Oct. IS.-The French
steamship Brittania, which arrived on the
18th inst. from Marseilles and Naples.
and which has been held by the health
officers at the upper quarantine for obser.
walton, was this morning sent down to
the lower quarantine, four cases of cholera
having been found aboard her. The
Brittania is a sister sship to the Alesia.
which brought the cholera here some
weeks ago.
Health Officer Smith is very r]eticent
regarding the cases on the Britannia. He
says the vessel was sent to the lower bay
for better isolation from persons who
wished to communicate with friends on
board. BOatmen about the upper quar-
antine say that four cases of cholera have
developed on the Brittania, and hint that
DR.. Smith is trying to keep the facts from
the public.
LATER.-Dr. Smith says there are no
cases of cholera on board the Britannia,
but that she was sent below for observa-
ton onlv.
The World to morrow will say that a
boy, three men and two women, who
were passengers on the steamer Britannia,
were removed to Swenbournc island.
They were all sick with symptoms similar
to cholera, but Deputy Health Officer
Smith would not say it was cholera.

Growing IN the Grave.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lS.-Sitting in the
office OF the comptroller of the treasury
the other day were two gentlemen wait
ing for the preparation of some docu-
ments which the bureau was Just about
completing. On the wall opposite hung
a fine oil portrait of Salmon P. Chase,
the first comptroller, showing him as a
handsome, ford faced man, without
beard and with head partially bald.
That doesn't look much as he did a
year ago" said one of them, noting the
handsome portrait.
"A year ago; why he has been dead
these ten years or more, hasn't hep"
Yes, eighteen of them. Yet l saw
him only a year ago with a full beard and
a full head of HAIR, very different from
the picture you see before u.s."
What do you mean2''
Simply this. [ was present when his
remains were taken from Oak View GEM
etery for transmission to Cincinnati a year
ago. Although seventeen years had
elapsed the remains were still in an almost
perfect state. The features were entirely
distinguishable to those who knew him i n
life. The clothing was in a perfect state
of preservation. The principal changes
were that the face was dark, and instead
of being smooth, as was his custom in
life, it was covered with a full growth of
beard, two inches or so in length and
mixed with grey. The head, which you
see was bald in life, was covered with a
fall suit of hair, partly grey"
Much obliged to you, Mr.. Comptrol-
Ter, and he took the document handed
him and was one

AQraaf Gun.

DIR. r. j. Gatling, the inventor OF The
magazine gun that bears his name, has
perfected another weapon OF a similut
character, intended forhse on mobs. An
exhibition of its working was given in
New York on Saturday, and this des-
cription is given: 1t ia "a brass gun,
weighing seventy-eight pounds, the whole
arrangement weighing only 40 pounds,
1t is capable of firing 1000 shots a min.
ute. The general working principal of
the gum is the same as that OF tile gun
which bears DR.. Gatling's name, and is
so widely known. The improvement Is
in the method of feeding. In the police
gun a magazine, holding sixty-two car
tridges and boxing like the hopper of
cornshcller, is set up ON end at right
angle on the top of the brass barrel,
The turning of the handle by the eau,
noneer drops the cartridges into six re-
volving barrels within the cannon. ~
the barrels reyolve lock with a spiral
spring catches each cartridge and a small
needle in the lock strikes the percussion
cap, exploding it. The next instant an
extractor catches the empty shell, and
following spiral groove, il is dislodgcd
from the gun. When one magazine Is
empty another stands ready to take ia
place. AS the empty shells, fall in u
stream from the uriiice, il looks for al
the world Ikea country ccrnshellcr with
the dcnuded cobs dropping to the fort
as the farm hand turns the crank. Fy
long lever the cOnrUnecr can with his
left hand change tho range of the gun,
shoot up or down or sideways, while with
the right hand he turns the crank that
puts the stream of cartridges in motion.
